Obtaining a national land trust is a long, arduous process, but Rochester's Genesee Land Trust, a land and waterway preservation organization, is close to joining the select group of land trusts approved by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission.
The Commission, an independent program created in 2005 to recognize conservation organizations which operate at high ethical and legal levels, will review Genesee's land transactions, finances and operations in the spring to make the final decision.
Genesee Land Trust was founded in 1989 and currently protects 4,000 acres in the Greater Rochester Area.
To prepare for the review, Genesee Land Trust has undergone a thorough review and documentation of its files, refining its policies and procedures to ensure permanent protection of the land it preserves.
Public comments are welcome in the accreditation process. Those interested in helping can submit comments by May 20, 2012 to www.landtrustaccreditation.org/component/content/article/289.
